The Carroll County Genealogical Soceity read all known tombstones in the county in 1977. If a stone or the sexton's records existed, they were compared and the information put into the reading: The following was found regarding Pheobe Rose: Union Cemetery: Wysox Township, Carroll County, Illinois. Row 1, last stone along the east fence: ROSE: Pheobe, wife of Rufus, d. 7 Feb 1858, aged 47y 11m 17 days Hope this helps. Cathy
